TM concluded its KL SEA games Team Malaysia roadshow this month, visiting seven locations across the country. The roadshow kicked off on the 15 February at University Selangor (UNISEL) and has since visited a total of 40 locations including schools, colleges, universities and bazaars across Malaysia.
This final leg of the roadshow saw the team visit UNIKL, USAS in Perak, UTAR in Perak, IUKL in Kajang, KLMUC and MSU in Shah Alam. The roadshow also took part in the Fit Malaysia event in conjunction with Larian Obor Perak when they visited SK Simpang Empat in Hutan Melintang.
With more than 700 participants and attendees for each location, the roadshow kept the SEA games spirit high. Visitors had the chance to take part in various activities including indoor archery, VR gaming as well as a challenge to beat Olympic Bronze medallist Azizul Hasni in a cycling competition.
Attendees to the Team Malaysia roadshow displayed an active spirit in participating for various activities, including a very welcoming reception for the VR games on demo. The VR and PlayStation 4 set displayed during the roadshow was sponsored by Sony Interactive Entertainment.
Participants also took on the Azizul challenge, where they attempted to cycle the furthest distance in a single minute. Azizul’s recorded distance for a minute is 1.2km – and participants are welcome to challenge the record of the Olympic medallist.
The winner of the Azizul challenge in each campus won a medal. At the end of the roadshow, the longest distance record holder was Mohamad Zaki from University Islam Antarabangsa, Gombak with a record of 900m. He won a PlayStation 4. “I love Team Malaysia, it shows how Malaysian support each other. Plus, the activities are fun too,” he said.
The second and third place of the Azizul challenge is Syafiq from UNITEN, Bangi and Muhammad Firdaus from Politeknik Sultan Idris Shah, with a record of 840m and 780m respectively. “I hope people see my talent in this Challenge Azizul and this kind of activity is very good for students especially athlete like us,” Syafiq notes. “The strategy and strength is important in The Challenge
Azizul. This kind of roadshow should be organised more often,” Firdaus echoes his support.
The event was organised by TM in collaboration with PC.com. Sony Interactive Entertainment is the Grand Prize sponsor for this event. KL SEA Games will run from 19 August to 30 August 2017.
